Some little thoughts 又是一点感想

"He now felt glad at having suffered sorrow and trouble, because it enabled him to enjoy so much better all the pleasure and happiness around him; for the great swans swam round the new-comer, and stroked his neck with their beaks, as a welcome."

“正因为他所经历过的悲伤和苦恼，他现在更清楚地认识到身边的喜悦和美好——许多美丽的天鹅游向这位新朋友，亲热地喙着他的脖子表示欢迎。”

I think everyday's life is a journey to make oneself a better person than yesterday, although everyone defines what makes a good person differently. Some people choose a different destination, some choose to stop traveling...no matter what decisions they have made, they all have impact on my life and my journey, especially now, when I am so far away from my dearest family and friends.

觉得每一天的生活是一个旅程：让自己比昨日成为一个更好的人——虽然每一个人对如何成为一个更好的人都有不同的定义。有的人选定了一个不同的目的地，有的人选择停止旅行。。。不管他们做了怎样的决定，他们或多或少都影响了我的人生、我的旅程。特别是现在，当我远远地离开最亲爱的家人和朋友的时候。

Without handsome prince and pretty princess, the ugly duckling is never my favorite fairy tale. But I really hope that I'll be a swan one day, just like the duckling in the story. I hope that when I come back to my hometown a few months later, I have something new and good in myself that is ready to be shared with my family and friends.

没有英俊的王子和美丽的公主的《丑小鸭》从来不是我最爱的童话，但是我真的希望有一天，我会变成一只天鹅，一如故事里的小鸭。我希望：几个月后当我回到故乡，我有一些新的、好的东西可以和他们分享。

I really hope so.
